What safety rules apply to stunts and tumbling?

AASCF says it places athlete safety before anything else. All levels are as defined by the IASF rules, and the IASF Cheer Legality Rules outline the rules for All Star Cheer Levels 1 to 7. University Elite and Premier follow the ICU (International Cheer Union) rules, and other University divisions follow the IASF legality rules. Novice divisions follow the AASCF Novice Cheer Rules.

In scoring and judging:

• Tumbling passes must land on both feet to be level appropriate and receive difficulty credit.
• A skill that does not show control through to the landing, dismount or transition may not be rewarded.
• A building safety violation (an illegal skill that appears inherently dangerous or unsafe, or one missing the required number of athletes, such as catchers for a cradle) is a 1.0 deduction. Tumbling out of level is 0.25 and building out of level is 0.50.
